Yeah, but I got to hear them do it live. Once in Central Park at a free show and once at the Fillmore East. The reason I remember is that we had a wretched audience tape of both shows (probably up on archive by now), and I loved the pedal steel, but could never figure out the words. I had no idea that "Ol' Slewfoot"--the actual title of the song--was a bear!

thats the best part of the song, the opening lines "bear tracks, bear tracks looking back at me" or something amongst that
